Subject: A nice look back.
This was before they packed milk in yucky cartons instead of glass. This was before the industry used growth hormones. Drink and grow boobs which is nice unless you're a male!!

This rather expansive movie is basically a 'Your Life's Work' expanded and in color to boot! A newly appointed general manager is to make a speech at a luncheon club (no doubt the same club where the lady in 'Food For America' goes to) to talk about hoe important Milk is.. He decides to exapnd upon this by explaining how he got his position in the first place. While his bored secretary looks out taking some notes, He goes back when he was just finishing high school whn his counsellor, in regards to career choices, blurts, "I think you should go into the dairy industry!" apropos of nothing. He thinks this is a swell idea, why look at all the positions you can have! And off we go into the plant, watching, yes, every position one can have in a dairy plant. More interesting that I've made it sound, it's sort of fun watching workers prepare gallons of cottage cheese and reams of butter.

Best moment: The kid happily munching away at the kitchen.. He's got the most repulsive greasy looking hairdo I've ever seen.
